Tracks That Are Special To Me

Obviously it's hard to summarise your whole music taste over several years with a couple of songs but these are some that come to mind when I think about what I used to enjoy and what I enjoy now.

Jack Johnson - Banana Pancakes
This was the first song that I knew all the words to. My dad had the album and I would always listen to it in the car.




Pink - So What
This was the first song that I downloaded. I really dislike it now.




Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
First song I properly taught myself on  the guitar.




Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down
I used to get really excited when this song would come on the radio on the way to school. When my dad bought 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', I listened all the way through it trying to find this song and was thoroughly disappointed when I didn't find it.




Radiohead - Paranoid Android
This was my favourite song for about a year. I listened to it too much so I don't enjoy it as much now.



Bombay Bicycle Club - Always Like This
I first heard this on XFM about 5 years ago and I still love it. Its very light-hearted and refreshing.




Skrillex - Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites
I can't stand it now, but it blew my mind when I first stumbled upon in on Youtube. I'd never really heard this genre before and it was exciting to hear all the bass-heavy, beat-driven songs he had produced.




Queens Of The Stone Age - A Song For The Dead
This song is one of my all-time favourites. When I first discovered the album it completely changed the way I thought about music and I started listening to much heavier stuff. I associate the album with New York because I listened to Queens Of The Stone Age non-stop while I was there. I also recently saw them at Reading Festival. They finished with this song. It was easily the best thing I've ever seen live.
